Lühivaasis

Lühivaasis is a term used in Estonian to describe a short vase or a vessel designed to hold a small arrangement of flowers. The term is derived from the Estonian words "lühike" meaning short and "vaas" meaning vase. These vessels are typically characterized by their compact size, making them suitable for displaying single stems or small bouquets on desks, tables, or windowsills.

The design of lühivaasid can vary widely, ranging from simple cylindrical shapes to more elaborate and decorative forms. They can be made from various materials, including glass, ceramic, metal, or even natural materials like wood or stone. Their understated size makes them versatile additions to interior decor, often chosen for their ability to complement rather than overpower a floral display.

Lühivaasid are practical for everyday use, allowing for the easy placement of a few freshly cut flowers without requiring a large space. They are often used in settings where space is limited, or when a subtle touch of nature is desired. The term emphasizes the functional aspect of the vase as a holder for a limited number of flowers, distinguishing it from larger, more ornamental vases.
